What's new v1.1.0
- Marmalade TTS 1.1.0.
- Reader mode: share a web page and it's read aloud paragraph by paragraph, fully on-device.
- German: a native voice (Thorsten/Kokoro), plus accented German and Bulgarian on Kokoro voices.
- New VITS engine with the English voice Jenny (Dioco).
- Speed is a true time-stretch; 2.0x really is twice as fast.
- Kokoro starts sooner, and text is read in a voice that speaks its language.
- Fixes: offline crashes, swallowed word endings, number reading.

WORKS EVERYWHERE
Marmalade implements Android’s standard text-to-speech interface, so it is a drop-in replacement for Google or Samsung TTS. Pick it once in Settings and it powers spoken text across your apps.
READY OUT OF THE BOX
Marmalade comes with a fast English voice built in, so text to speech works offline from your very first launch. Bigger and better engines download only when you choose them, and text read by on-device voices never leaves your phone.
A VOICE FOR EVERY APP
Marmalade is built around aliases. Build your favorite voice with speed and effect settings. Route apps to aliases and your e-reader can speak in one voice while your chat app uses another. Anything unrouted follows your primary alias.
SPEAKS 8 LANGUAGES
The multilingual Kokoro engine speaks English (US and UK), Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Hindi, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese. It detects the language as it reads and switches pronunciation on the fly.
PRIVATE, WITH OR WITHOUT THE CLOUD
No analytics, no telemetry, no accounts, and no backend of ours. On-device voices touch the network only to download the engines you pick. If you want voices beyond what your phone can run, add a cloud engine with your own API key. Providers include Venice.ai, which says it does not store or log requests. Until you set one up, nothing you read ever leaves your phone. Note: other providers may log requests. Refer to their privacy policies.
READ THE WEB
Share a link to Marmalade and it opens the article in a clean reader view, then reads it aloud with the current paragraph highlighted as it goes. Only the page you shared is contacted, no images or trackers are loaded, and nothing is stored.
BUILT FOR SCREEN READERS
Marmalade is accessible with rich TalkBack support and designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA with a high-contrast dark theme. Every control is labeled, and progress and errors are announced aloud when TalkBack is enabled. Nothing an assistive-tech user needs sits behind a purchase.
MAKE IT YOURS
22 built-in effect presets like 8-bit, cyborg, megaphone, and vintage radio give spoken output character. Or build your own effect chains in the editor.
READS THE LONG STUFF
A foreground playback service reads long text reliably with the screen off, with lock-screen and Bluetooth controls. Share text from any app or use the system “read selection” action.
OPEN SOURCE
Marmalade’s own source code is MIT licensed and its repository contains no GPL code. The published app also contains the espeak-ng phonemizer, compiled from source at build time, so the app you install is distributed under GPL-3.0-or-later. The exact espeak-ng version used is pinned from the project repository, and license details for every component are shown inside the app.
